Tires OEM Mazda or NANKANG

They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.

I also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.

Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.

Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)

Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.

It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.

The crs were a bit pricey and didnt last long but they’re noticeable higher grip

I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)

These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).

Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.

I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3
